This lesson pack contains:
A PowerPoint looking at the differences between teeth in herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
A worksheet reinforcing this information.
This lesson is intended as lesson 3 of 4 in the topic ‘Animals, including humans’, but can easily be taught as a stand alone lesson.
This is the 3rd lesson in the Year 4 science states of matter topic. It assumes prior learning of the properties of solids and liquids. In this lesson, pupils will explore melting and freezing points using a variety of everyday objects (ice, chocolate, wax). They will consider how ‘heat energy’ is either added or removed to cause the change of state and be able to draw simple diagrams to show the changes are physical (reversible). Pupils will also begin to appreciate the fact that different materials have different melting points.
The worksheet consists of 4 tasks, labelled ‘think, try, do, extend’, which pupils should be able to work through independently following the main input using the PowerPoint. There is also a cutting/sticking/matching task for pupils to complete to demonstrate their understanding of melting/solidifying.

This lesson sequence encourages pupils to:
Consider different ways to group organisms
Use a venn diagram to group organisms
Find out who Carl Linnaeus was and why he is important
Learn about the Linnaean system of classification for animals
Learn how vertebrates are grouped
Learn how invertebrates are grouped
The resources included are:
5 lists of organisms (10 per list, grouped to enable scientific thinking regarding how to group the organisms in each list)
Worksheet pg1, beginning with simple recall tasks to do with Carl Linnaeus, as well as identifying vertebrates/invertebrates and their subgroups (i.e. mammals, reptiles, crustaceans etc)
Worksheet pg 2, encouraging pupils to use their knowledge of the characteristics of different groups to create their own vertebrate and invertebrate. Also, an extension task asking pupils to research the differences between 2 similar species (i.e. bees and wasps)
Templates for venn diagrams (A single circled venn and a double circled venn)
A great introduction to the living things and habitats topic for pupils.
